It is likely due to your browser caching the pages.
Hard to tell when you don't have control over the player.
If you have a version of the player that shows you traces you might
have more information.

They are *extremely* useful, as any FAILURE by the "reference" player
is likely a bug in our testcases. Actually, you might consider directly
modifying the testcases and send us patches to them.

Note that before patching a single testcase, it is worth testing it
with all target versions, as things might work differently between
versions and we can produce different checks for different SWF targets
by using the OUTPUT_VERSION define.
